This proposed AD would require performing repetitive fluorescent penetrant inspections (FPIs) to detect indications or linear indications (any indication which is four times longer than the width of that same indication) in the HPT front rotating air seal and, if necessary, replacement of the HPT front rotating air seal or HPT rotor disk with parts eligible for installation as applicable.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-08-08, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A318 series airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. AD 2022-08-08 requires repetitive special detailed inspections of certain double joggle areas on the fuselage and applicable on-condition actions. This proposed AD continues to require the actions in AD 2022-08-08 and would add airplanes to the applicability, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A10 and BD- 500-1A11 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reported events of annunciated horizontal stabilizer trim actuator (HSTA) jams occurring at the end of the cruise phase of flight. This proposed AD would require lubricating the HSTA using an improved method, at a reduced interval, as specified in a Transport Canada AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-21-02, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A330-200 series, A330-200 Freighter series, A330-300 series, A330-800 series, and A330- 900 series airplanes. AD 2023-21-02 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-21-02, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require certain actions in AD 2023-21-02 and would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants From Hazardous Waste Combustors Malfunction and Electronic Reporting Amendments
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to amend the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) from Hazardous Waste Combustors (HWC) to remove the exemptions and revise other provisions associated with emission standard exemptions for periods of malfunction, to add electronic reporting provisions, to amend emergency safety vent provisions, and to correct other minor provisions. The removal of the exemption for periods of malfunction is predicated on the previous vacatur of emission standard exemptions for periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) from the applicable general provisions. We are also proposing to remove or revise some associated requirements that are unnecessary, inappropriate, or redundant in the absence of the malfunction exemption, such as in recordkeeping and reporting. Emission standards will apply during periods of malfunction as required under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The addition of electronic reporting provisions will provide for simplified reporting by sources and will enhance the availability of data on sources to the EPA and the public. In addition, the EPA is proposing amendments to emergency safety vent provisions and one correction to the rule to correct an inadvertent error in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) related to the use of Method 23 to determine compliance with the dioxin and furan standards.

The proposed rule would also require servicers to provide certain communications in languages other than English, such as when a borrower is seeking payment assistance with their mortgage. The proposed rule, if finalized, would increase the likelihood that investors and borrowers can avert the costs of avoidable foreclosure.
